Mice in Walls in Boise – Professional Help You Can Trust
Hearing tiny scratching or scampering sounds inside your walls is one of the most common signs of a mouse infestation. Wall voids provide mice with warmth, shelter, and safe travel routes throughout your home.
Pestcom offers professional solutions for mice in walls in Boise, including accurate inspections, targeted removal, and long-term prevention to stop rodents from returning.
Why Mice Get Inside Boise Walls
Boise’s changing seasons often push mice indoors in search of warmth and food. Even very small exterior gaps around foundations, utility lines, vents, and rooflines can give mice easy access to wall spaces.
Older homes in the North End, Boise Bench, and Downtown areas are especially vulnerable, but new construction homes can experience the same problems if small openings are present. Areas near parks, irrigation canals, and mature landscaping often see higher mouse activity.
Signs of Mice in Walls
- Light scratching or scurrying noises at night
- Chewing sounds coming from behind drywall
- Small droppings in garages, cupboards, or basements
- Unexplained musty odors
- Grease marks near baseboards or entry points
- Pets staring or pawing at walls
If you are hearing activity in your walls, the problem is likely already established. Quick action can prevent a small issue from becoming a large infestation.

Why Mice in Walls Are More Than a Nuisance
Mice living inside walls can create a range of serious problems, including:
- Chewed electrical wiring that increases fire risk
- Contaminated insulation and building materials
- Damage to drywall and structural components
- Spread of bacteria, allergens, and parasites
- Persistent odors from droppings and nesting
What starts as a few noises at night can quickly turn into costly home repairs if ignored.
Our Boise Mice-In-Walls Removal Process
Removing mice from inside walls requires a strategic, professional approach. Pestcom’s process includes:
- Thorough inspection to identify entry points
- Targeted trapping and monitoring
- Interior and exterior control methods
- Identification of travel routes
- Recommendations for exclusion and prevention
Our goal is to eliminate active mice first, then address how they entered so the problem does not return.
For complete removal services, see: Boise Rodent Removal.
Why DIY Methods Don’t Fix Mice in Walls
Setting a few store-bought traps rarely solves a wall mouse problem. Without locating entry points and understanding how mice are traveling through the home, new rodents will continue to get inside.
Poisons can also create new issues by leaving dead rodents trapped in wall spaces, leading to foul odors and additional cleanup costs.
A true long-term solution requires professional removal combined with: Boise Rodent Exclusion.
Preventing Future Mice in Walls
After mice are removed, prevention is the key to keeping them out. Effective steps include:
- Sealing small exterior gaps and cracks
- Screening vents and utility openings
- Reducing food and water sources
- Proper storage in garages and crawlspaces
- Regular exterior monitoring
Pestcom helps Boise homeowners protect their walls and avoid repeat infestations.
